Hoo wants a Hooter?

Well, I just installed my $79 SPG9 Bosch heavy-duty 20 psi turbo bypass (hooter) valve. What a dirty job that was! But it's in there. (I'll post the details of the ordeal later.)
The thing is, now I have this perfectly good Bosch =standard= hooter valve. I had replaced it only a couple of years ago, so it's like new. Tested it, and it's fine -- seals tight, operates smoothly.
They cost about $50 new, but if anyone wants it, it's yours free if you'll reimburse me for the shipping costs. Contact me with your address and I'll mail it to you.
If you're not sure if yours is bad, this is a good excuse to test it -- find the vacuum line that runs to it, apply vacuum to the line, and see if it holds vacuum. Usually when a hooter fails the diaphram inside breaks and it won't hold any vacuum at all. The vac line on mine runs from the valve to a tee fitting just off that big hose going to the brake booster.
